Nice chat
Help! Being pregnant in Tiel is such a disaster. Which other hospital do you recommend giving birth at?

Hi, my name is Jolene,
I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant. I live with my partner in Tiel.
Nothing is right here regarding the pregnancy. The hospital and the midwife are making a lot of mistakes.
I gave birth to a daughter here before. She's a very sweet girl now, already 5
But they made serious mistakes then too. It could have ended badly.
This pregnancy is the same. The hospital took blood and urine samples to test for gestational diabetes and a bladder infection, and said everything was fine.
Two weeks later, I had a contraction in my belly. I submitted another urine sample and had a severe bladder infection. When they asked why I hadn't gotten checked earlier, they just stared at me
And the midwife and the hospital lost my file from my previous delivery... and they refuse to believe I had gestational diabetes back then.
During an extra check-up with the midwife (who couldn't get her ultrasound machine to work; my boyfriend had to do it), she suddenly said the baby was 2 centimeters smaller. Then she looked again and said it was twice as big as it was a week ago.
This is all very unpleasant and confusing. I'm afraid they're making bigger mistakes. I really don't want to give birth in Tiel and would prefer a different midwife.
Sorry for the long story, but I hope someone can give me advice.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings, mom Jolene

Pff, reading that makes me go "amazing!" I wouldn't feel good about it either. And that's really important, having at least a minimum of trust in the hospital and staff.
I'd definitely try to find another place to give birth as soon as possible, if at all possible.
Good luck!! -

I used the complaints procedure, but to me it felt like nothing or very little was done. I'm going to give birth in Ede. That's the closest and my family who lives nearby are always well helped at that hospital.
I've already made contact to discuss things before the birth.
I have a mild form of autism and therefore really want to give birth in a hospital. And discuss beforehand what extra support they can offer me. Especially ambiguity or people all saying different things causes me extra stress. And they are quite good at that here.
Greetings Jolene
Thanks for the lovely responses
p.s. I had an ultrasound done by Jan Koning in Ochten. Very very good.
A kind man who explained everything very clearly and calmly. I felt heard.
And the ultrasound photos were very beautiful. If I keep those compared to the midwife's or the hospital's, it's the difference between looking at the first color screen of a TV to full HD.
